General measures
- Observance of the general hygiene measures!
- Genital hygiene
- Once a day, the genital area should be washed with a pH neutral care product. Washing several times a day with soap, intimate lotion or disinfectant destroys the natural acid mantle of the skin. Pure water dries out the skin, frequent washing irritates the skin.
- It is recommended to use disposable washcloths.
- Showering is better than bathing (softening the skin).
- Tighten underwear only when the skin is absolutely dry.
- Underwear should be changed daily and be breathable (cotton materials).
- Synthetic materials impermeable to air create an ideal breeding ground for pathogens.
- Apply grease and or moisturizers possibly cooled several times a day for vulvovaginitis.
- Use condoms (but do not give complete protection!).
- Nicotine restriction (refrain from tobacco use).
- Alcohol restriction (abstaining from alcohol)
- In public facilities such as swimming pool, sauna, etc. do not go barefoot.
- Feet always dry well (especially between the toes!).
- Regularly change stockings

- Review of permanent medication due topossible effect on the existing disease.
Treatment options (depend on type, size and location)
- Cauterization of the wart
- Cryotherapy (icing of the wart)
- Keratolysis (dissolution of keratinization) by tinctures, patches or varnish (usually with salicylic acid), etc.
- Condylomata acuminata can be removed with medication. Drug therapy consists of topical application of imiquimod or destructive solutions or ointments (5-fluorouracil; podophyllotoxin; trichloroacetic acid; silver nitrate).
- Laser therapy (CO2 laser, erbium Yag laser, ruby laser).
- Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (“off-label use“).
- Surgical removal of the wart (by sharp spoon, electric snare, CO2 laser, or cryosurgery) as ultima ratio.
- Dell warts (epithelioma molluscum, epithelioma contagiosum, molluscum contagiosum) are squeezed out or also scraped out.
Therapy success after 6 months:
- Pulsed dye laser (PDL): 74% wart-free.
- Keratolysis: 55.1
- CO2 laser: 48.0 %
In addition, the following home remedies are also used
Two-thirds of all warts often regress on their own within two years.
